2009 Black Silk Stretch Slip Dress

Prada
2009 Black Silk Stretch Slip Dress
Size IT 44

A refined Prada slip dress from 2009, cut in fluid black stretch silk with a deceptively minimal construction.
The dress has a clean, straight neckline and very fine spaghetti straps, while the back becomes considerably more intricate: the straps cross over the shoulder blades above a deep open back finished with a small teardrop-shaped cut-out.

The silk-elastane fabric has a smooth, lightweight hand and subtle sheen, allowing the dress to fall softly around the body while retaining enough stretch for a close yet comfortable fit.
The silhouette is gently A-line rather than tightly fitted, giving the piece an understated, almost lingerie-inspired elegance characteristic of Prada’s treatment of evening and transitional dressing during this period.

The contrast between the extremely pared-back front and the exposed, crossed-strap back is the central design feature. Lightweight, sensual and highly versatile, it can be worn alone or layered over a fine knit or fitted top.

Great overall condition.
